BUOY

DIRECTOR: STEVE DOUGHTON - OREGON (PORTLAND)

(NAR) A woman receives a telephone call from her long-lost brother—reconnecting with the central, though neglected, emotional anchor in her life. Over the span of real-time phone conversation, the two siblings test the strength of a deep, if challenged love. “BUOY is a powerful, deeply engrossing meditation on family, middle class alienation, and love. What begins as a minimalist nod to MY DINNER WITH ANDRE and JEANNE DIELMAN results in a dramatic, emotionally gripping excavation of contemporary life, exquisitely controlled and grounded in its pitch-perfect performances, writing, and direction.”—Todd Haynes (SAFE, FAR FROM HEAVEN, I’M NOT THERE)
